Now this is an energy bar I would like to eat (rum is not optional)

This one was from the same article, another Ballarat lad who was a bit of an Aussie legend. A marathon runner who won Gold, 2 x Silver and a Bronze medal at various Commonwealth Games and a heap of other marathons around the world. I used to see him jogging around the Ballarat lake when he was around 50 years old, still fit as a fiddle.

@m3moellering yep, a cookie in Australia is called a biscuit. Your biscuits would be more of a scone to us

Recipes like this drive me bonkers. "1 packet" --how large? Give me a weight, a volume, anything! Sizes change, either from shrinkflation or just multiple product sizes being available.

@Argie Yeah, it's just so generic. Is it a sugar-cookie? Toll-House (The Cookie that Conquered the World)? Treacle? I wanted more detail......for science.

When hiking long distance paths in England we found that Snickers bars had actually more calories per gram. And they were named Marathon in Britain so that checked out. (TIL the name was changed to Snickers in 1990 but they changed it back in 2020.)

@m3moellering @Xedrik Cultural context/assumed knowledge. It'd generally be one of the plain sweet tea biscuits like Arnotts Marie or Milk Arrowroot, or Scotch Finger if you're fancy.

Some biscuits like the sadly discontinued Arnotts Lattice seemingly had no other purpose other than to be made into custard slice.
